Title: Just picked up my new (to me) R9
Post by: Chuckster on May 22, 2012, 08:26:33 PM
   Today I picked up my new R9 which I recently purchased on the forum. I can now understand why everyone on the forum loves these guns! They are works of art and built like a tank. In a separate purchase I reunited the carbon fiber grips with the gun. They look pretty darn good together!!
   I am looking forward to shooting the R9 to see what ammo it likes. I hope it is not too picky. Many thanks to Eugene. I'm saddened for his loss but happy for my gain.
   I should be receiving soon a holster which I also purchased on the forum. It should complete the package and I look forward to carrying the gun/holster in my front right pocket!

I just compared the Rohrbaugh to my S&W BodyGuard 380. It is slightly shorter in length, about the same in height, and just , just slightly wider in width. Amazing!!! The BodyGuard has a built in laser but the R9 has a more powerful cartridge. A fair tradeoff.

The trade off is worth every milimeter.


Welcome my freind.

Congrats.  The trade off isn't even close!!  If it ever came down to actually having to use your firearm for it's intended purpose, I highly doubt the masses would even notice the laser.  Small small trade off for the quality of firearm you now own.  Enjoy your new pup.

Chuckster,

Congrats on the R9. Would love to see some pics and hear about how it shoots once you get it to the range.

Congrats again and enjoy the pup!
